A look back at some Hereford United news from February 15th.
1994
Tim Steele transferred from Bradford to Hereford. He started at Shrewsbury and went on to play for Wolves before moving to Bradford last season.
1998
The former Wolves and Blues midfielder Keith Downing, who had been reserve coach since the start of the season, has stepped in to look after the first team while director of football Graham Turner concentrates on securing the club's financial future through his take-over.
Downing has become more involved in coaching and training and he is enjoying the challenge.
"It's a big honour," said Downing.
"It's something that has come fairly soon, sooner than I expected. But with the circumstances going in upstairs, Graham has got a lot on his plate sorting out the board room matters.
"For me it's a great challenge and a great experience to be dealing with the senior players.
1999
HEREFORD United football supporters announced today that they plan to contest the Herefordshire council elections in May, 2000.
Hereford United Independent Supporters Association (HUISA) has taken this action in response to an apparent lack of interest in United's cause by the majority of current councillors.
The future of Hereford United FC has been in the balance since relegation from The Football League in 1997. The previous board of directors negotiated a deal which will lead to the sale of Edgar Street for redevelopment and a move to a new ground. The search for and the building of a new ground is vital to the club's survival.
Local councillors have been approached to support this cause. Only some have shown any interest in the revived county's senior football club.
Over the past three months HUISA has been assessing the positions of Herefordshire councillors. We have identified the wards where councillors will support our aims. We intend to contest other wards on a platform of Hereford United and a series of local issues.
2002
NATIONWIDE Conference leaders Boston United, who face Hereford on Monday night, have encountered further difficulties with a threat of legal action from Lincolnshire Police.
The local constabulary have claimed that Boston have failed to honour an agreement over repaying the cost of match-day police.
Boston also face a winding-up order on Monday brought by a local garage over an unpaid bill of £6,000.
The only good news is that Des Wood, a north Nottinghamshire-based businessman involved in property, is believed to be on the point of buying the club from the Malkinson family.
This will certainly add further interest to the Sky game on Monday night. Boston will gain £5,000 and The Bulls will receive £3,000 from the game.
2007
Graham Turner has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he is hopeful Steve Guinan's loan spell at Edgar Street can be extended.
Guinan joined the Bulls on loan for a month just before the Notts County home game.
"Steve knows what the game's about; he had a cracking start against Notts County, scoring two goals," said Turner.
"He's in the side to score goals; he's an experienced campaigner and he might be vital to us between now and the end of the season."
